Array has a corrupted descriptor

[Reimar Bauer <r.bauer(at)fz-juelich.de>]

Hi,

I got an error sometimes in one of my routines only on AIX.

-- IDL> help,!version,/str
** Structure !VERSION, 7 tags, length=44:
   ARCH            STRING    'ibmr2'
   OS              STRING    'AIX'
   OS_FAMILY       STRING    'unix'
   RELEASE         STRING    '5.4.1'
   BUILD_DATE      STRING    'Jan 16 2001'
   MEMORY_BITS     INT             32
   FILE_OFFSET_BITS
                   INT       =       32

The same routine works on linux and windows.

The error text is:
% Array has a corrupted descriptor: VAR

the calling sequence is something like this 

var=function(x)

First I like to know what's this error is meaning.

It seems to me that's the RETURN statement won't work.

The result value of my function is good.

If it reachs the calling level of the function I got 
this error. 




Any ideas are welcome.

regards
Reimar
